Experience Luxury Fishing on Lake Kariba

Surrounded by vast open waters, rugged mountains, and abundant wildlife, this exclusive retreat is the perfect destination for anglers and nature lovers alike.

Steeped in history and African charm, Fothergill combines refined hospitality with unforgettable outdoor adventures, creating one of Southern Africa's premier fishing and safari experiences.

Legendary Fishing on Lake Kariba

Lake Kariba is internationally recognised as one of Africa's finest freshwater fishing destinations. Its sheltered bays, dramatic gorges, flooded forests, and expansive shoreline provide ideal habitat for a wide variety of fish species, making it a paradise for both experienced anglers and first-time fishermen.

The lake is famous for its powerful Tigerfish, while also offering excellent fishing for tilapia, catfish, and other indigenous freshwater species.

Guests have access to premium conventional and fly-fishing equipment, while the lodge's experienced fishing guides—many of whom have proudly represented Zimbabwe in international freshwater angling competitions—share their local knowledge to maximise every fishing excursion.

Committed to sustainable tourism and environmental conservation, Fothergill practices a strict catch-and-release fishing policy, helping to protect fish populations while supporting local communities and preserving this remarkable ecosystem for future generations.

Scenic Boat Safaris

Beyond the thrill of fishing, guests can explore the spectacular waterways of Lake Kariba on guided boat safaris. Cruise along the shoreline and witness unforgettable wildlife encounters, including elephants cooling off at the water's edge, pods of hippos, crocodiles basking in the sun, and an extraordinary variety of birdlife.

Venture into the dramatic Sanyati Gorge, one of Lake Kariba's most scenic highlights, while enjoying refreshing drinks and breathtaking sunrise or sunset views across the lake.
